difficult. really looks like mcdaniel is really well-positioned for this. in the actual race which ended on june third, 49.5% voted for mcdaniel and 49% for cochran. they were separated something like 1382 votes. so it was incredibly close. it will be incredibly close this time around. a lot of recent polling has mcdaniel up there is polling that sort of suggests otherwise. some people say internal polling from mcdaniel s camp has mcdaniel down 10 points. i think this race will come down to the wire. like most things it will play out and turnout your guess is kind of as good as mine. jon: turnout, cochran side saying democrats get out there to vote for cochran. is that even legal? there has been debate whether or not it is legal from people that support mcdaniel. there is law on books says you can t vote in the primary if you don t plan to support that party in november. other people say actually there was federal appeals court overruled that in 2008 saying it is unenforceable. techn
disaster or will they back the president all the way? coal state democrats came out in opposition. alison lundergan grimes is going to launch a campaign that criticized president obama s plans. and lawmakers including mark begich, kay hagan, and mary landrieu also expressed their concerns over this. however, a washington post /abc news poll show 70% of americans are in favor of the government limiting carbon emissions from power plants. it is decision day for voters in several states. much of the focus on republican circles is in mississippi. it s being called the nastiest race in the nation. tea party candidate chris mcdaniel is charging thad cochran who was first elected back in 1972. high profile republicans like sarah palin support mcdaniel. he tried to fire up his base by
base is about this entire race, and we re starting to see a lot more coming from the cochran campaign, you know, talking about the urgency for his voters to get out and go to the polls more so than what we ve seen, you know, in the last few days. so i think that s clearly one thing they re looking at is turn out here is going to favor mcdaniel just as far as an excitement standpoint. let me ask you this, this has obviously been a very bitter end to this campaign. if cochran loses, could you foresee some major mississippi republicans refusing to support mcdaniel and actually supporting travis childers? i don t think so. i think that as a matter of fact, you ve already heard the chairman of the state gop and also senator wicker both say, look, whoever wins this, we re going to get behind them and we re going to move forward. governor bryant actually has a good relationship with mcdaniel
